A bullet of World War II ????

[Carlo Antonio]

Hello friends !!

Today, my wife found in the soil of our garden a strange object. In my opinion, it seems a bullet of World War II . Now I try to clean it

[musketier]

possibly, where exactly are you located, I just thought it may be even earlier (WWI maybe)

There are tons of empty cartriges and other artefacts of WWII around my hometown and in the surrounding. Those are remains of one of final fights of WWII in Europe.

I live on the hills of Genoa, Italy.
I started to clean it. I see two numbers, 44 and 39 I think!

44 = 1944
It looks very much like a Mauser rifle bullet, but the 39 could be a 30 and there should be more markings, 4 in total including some R0man numerals.

how is long the brass and the rim ..?
quanto è lungo il bossolo e largo il fondello ( il fondo tondo) ..?
is not a bullet but only a fired brass
questo non è un proiettile ma solo il bossolo sparato di una cartuccia..
but can be a 7.92x57 js german ammo for mauser k98,mg34,mg42 ecc..
look at this from my collection..

similar marking and similar sing near the primer..

five 7,92x57 Js on reolanding clip..

@Paul , I can still see an "x"
@Alois , This may OBR 13
@luchs, 12mm , 51mm circa (but it is damaged)
